Blackpool magistrates decided she must appear at Preston Crown Court for sentence on July 22.

Lynda Bennett, prosecuting for Blackpool Council, said Officers made a check at Booze Booze Booze on January 12, and found six bottles marked Glen’s Vodka on display at the shop. More bottles of the vodka were found in the storeroom – some 48 in total, which officers believed were counterfeit, were seized.

When analysed the fake vodka was found to be five percent under strength and the alcohol had an unpleasant odour.

Michael Woosnam, defending, said his client had believed the vodka was genuine and it was a one-off purchase. The bottles of vodka seized by the local authority were worth between £480 to £580.
